Ingredients

  • 24 pitted dates
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened to room temp
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon *
  • ½ cup chopped toasted pecans

Instructions

  • Prepare dates by creating a small slit in the middle using a sharp paring knife. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, beat together cream cheese, honey and cinnamon until smooth. Spoon into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with one of the corners snipped.
  • Carefully pipe the mixture into the center of each date until full and just peeking over the edge of the slit.
  • Place the chopped pecans on a small plate. Gently dip the exposed cream cheese into the pecans and press lightly to adhere. Repeat with all of the dates.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

You can use any spice or spice blend for these -- pumpkin spice or apple pie spice would be nice for the holidays, or perhaps even a chai spice blend.
